Unveiling Ceremonies.
One of the most memorable occa
sions that lias ever occurred in the
history of the Loup City schools was
the unveiling ceremony of the statue
of Lincoln yesterday forenoon. The
exercises were to have been field on
l the centenary birthday celebration.
| but because of blockaded roads the
statue was not received till a week
later. The statue, a :it>-inch bust it
bronze finish, modeled from the cele
brated bust by St. Gandins. was pre
sented to the school by the senior
* class in a most appropriate address b\
j Christian Sorensen. He spoke of the
i attendance of the class in the high
j school during the past four years, of
1 the great value the school lias been
to them in molding their characters
and preparing them for the trials and
duties of life, and as a token of their
appreciation and the wish that the j
class might be remembered in future !
years, they wished to present this j
statue Mr. Pedler on behalf of the
school board made the acceptance ad- j
dre- paying a glowing tribute to the
class for their thoughtful, timely and
appropriate gift. He spoke feelingly j
of the many virtues of -the "Greatest
of All Americans." and felt sure that i
all future classes and pupils looking j
on the kindly and noble features
would be inspired to a loftier concep
tion of lire and higher ideals of citi
zenship. The unveilinsr address by
Mr. Nightingale was one of ihe finest
tributes to Lincoln ever beard in
Loup City. His theme was the large
ness of the man—his great physical
strength always exercised to help the
weak: his magnificent intellectual
powers that made him the foremost!
>tatesmanin the world in his day and :
which brought the Nation safely i
through the terrible Civil War: his
boundless sympathy that reached to j
the highest, but above all enfolded
the lowly in his great and loving
heart. His application tc school life j
was that while al! could not lie as
great as he, all could by emulating'
his virtues and following his noble ex
ample. approach measurably near the
loftiest ideal of manhood the world
lias ever produced. These, with the
invocation by Rev. Hawk, and the
prayer and benediction by Rev. Mont
gomery. all make Feb. 24.1boy. a mem
orable day in our educational history.
